Walker said he couldn’t afford the $100,000 to lift up his home so it had to be bulldozed.

Army Corps officials said the plan to assist Suffolk residents in the flood plain has been in the works for decades, long before Sandy hit, back when Suffolk was considered more vulnerable than Nassau.

But a local lawmaker said those estimations were clearly proved wrong by Sandy.

“We are going to request that Nassau County is part of it. It’s absurd that they weren’t included,” State Sen. Charles Fuschillo (R-Massapequa) said.

He said he’ll ask the Army Corps to reconsider.

Taxpayers also weighed in on whether federal funding should be used at all to assist affected homeowners.

“Don’t feel it should be done,” North Bellmore resident Fred Schramm told Gusoff. “I feel it should be assumed as a risk the homeowner assumes when they buy in a perilous area.”

“The more homes that we raise, the area’s coming back and it’s going to raise everybody’s property values so we’re all going to win,” Amityville resident Paul Westphal said.

Maps are still being fine-tuned to determine which homes will be lifted courtesy of Uncle Sam, Gusoff reported.
